Has anyone ever painted their ski boots? What paint works well, any techniques to get it to not all come off immediately? Lmk

Changing the colour of your boots has been around forever. Most people don't paint though as boots get battered and the paint will scratch.
Rot dying your boots has had some popularity in the past. Not seen many threads on it for a while though.

RIT it's a brand name fabric dye you can get at the grocery store/drug store or at least you could a decade ago.

My bad. Got auto corrected. It is Rit dye. If your boots are a light colour I.e. White r bright yellow you'll get the best result. You can only make the plastics darker colours though. So you can't make red parts yellow for example.

Use the search bar or just type in something like ‘dying ski boots newschoolers’ into google
